Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Vitamin C is incredibly important to the immune system, but how much do we need to reap its benefits? In this Linus Pauling Day webinar, we will explore vitamin C requirements with Dr. Anitra Carr from the University of Otago Christchurch. Gain insights into how much vitamin C is optimal for immune health and more.
This webinar is part of the Linus Pauling Institute's 2023 Webinar Series. - Наука та технологія
Linus Pauling recommended WAY MORE than 400 mgs....plus other great vitamin C pioneers. I take 3 - 6 grams a day :)
Try taking 25 grams! Much more effective. Reversing my CAC
I'm trying to find an article that talks about how much he recommended. Link?

@@YesPlease1in his book how to live longer and feel better linus pauling recommends 6 - 12 grams a day of vitamin c, you can download a pdf copy of his book for free, linus himself took 20grams a day, in a video on youtube he is speaking and recommends about 12 grams a day.
@@YesPlease1 He recommended 6 to 18 grams per day (that's 6 000 to 18 000 mg). The more the better.
There was a shortage of intravenous Vitamin C in the U.S. in 2020. It was mostly going to hospitals which had priority, and likely used to treat COVID 19 patients. This fact did not get publicity, although I confirmed it did happen.
True. Also to treat Cancer
More likely people stocking up like I did. Not many doctors know anything about the healing value of vitamin C
I had a friend who died early on from covid in the ER. His sister said that he was denied a vitamin IV by the docs. I wonder if it would have helped? :(
As Andrew Saul said: Take as much as you need to get the results you want and need.
Fantastic. I personally have taken 1000mg a day for 20 years. Never been sick.
DO YOU TAKE IT ORALLY?
@@ulysseamer2942 YES
1 gram is hardly enough to fight heart disease. I'm on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol taking 25 grams per day in divided doses with Lysine and Proline it's reversed my CAC Score from 660 to 458 in 20 months....
I often take 5 grams per day.
@binathere2574 What you should do is take more doses throughout the day every 5 gram increase yield a noticeable change in my health!
I found my bowel tolerance, which is key 🔑 🤔 to taking maximum advantage of what vitamin C can dow for you, and believe me, it's a lot!
I take 2000 mg of liposomal vitamin c. I’m more into it, preventing disease, especially cancers, etc. I want good wrinkle free skin and strong ligaments.
That is the exact amount I take as well, in NOW brand liposomal form; thnx for sharing 👍
What brand of Liposomal form do you use?? Thnx
I saw one research showed that vit c in blood was indeed highest with iv followed by liposomal and regular c..But they had the same effect in reducing oxidation damages.
I got rid of covid at the very start of it with oral vit c 24 grams the first day, declining every day until the 3rd day at 12 gr and I was no longer feeling sick, and I've not stopped taking it ever since, though the amount is much less. Nothing quite like trying it, documenting it, experiencing recovery to make it a part of life. One of my better choices.
I’m surprised that there is no more enthousiasm about the liposomal C. It delivers better and disappears slower, what more could it do?
We're waiting to see the science. So far, there's very little to back up those claims.
@@thelinuspaulinginstitute okay, thanks for your response. It has to be really proven first, only claims aren’t gonna help us..
@@biodivers5294 And believe us, we're willing to do it ourselves - we just need to find someone willing to fund the work!
When you say "Vitamin C" to what are you referring? Whole vitamin c as found in foods? Or commercially produced, pure ascorbic acid that is bereft of the whole food constituents?
You'll never get enough from food to reverse heart disease as I am. 1 gram is equal to 20 oranges 🍊 and and I use the equivalent of 500 oranges per day in divided doses with Lysine and Proline reversing my heart disease. Pauling said ascorbic acid powder is all you need and he's right because my CAC Score has reversed by 30% so far...
l ascorbate, I believe
@kellywynn2397 Ascorbic is all you need, I'll take the word of Linus Pauling, bio chemist a 2-time Nobel Prize winner that was awarded 48 PhD's over his lifetime and considered one of the brightest minds in the last 1000yrs.
You should do some more research on the ascorbic acid molecule.
@binathere2574 While I have had a person or two ridicu ascorbic acid either for its nutrient content or its chemical weakness, I found they either did not go to an MD for wellness checks even just use the data from them or they felt there was no real value in vitamin C ascorbic alone. Well, after 3 yrs now, I have had nothing but health phenomenal, improving everything from skin and eyes to the reversal of my heart disease. I think one of the best books I have yet read on ascorbic acid is Dr. Thomas Levy's book "Curing the Incurable " 1200 medical references in it some of which will bring you to tears as it did Levy and myself after hearing about research that was withheld from the public. In small quantities, it is almost useless, but in large quantities, miraculous.
I would like to see more evidence supporting an "optimal" dose. The study cited in this talk for an RDA was on 7 hospitalized males. It's not clear to me that we can know what an optimal amount is based on serum levels alone. Bowel tolerance seems to be a much higher dose than maximized serum levels.
Yes, so would we! Optimal dose is very hard to study. However, it is important to study both minimum requirements (for public health information) as well as search for doses that influence other health outcomes.
Has anyone experienced reversing CAC score?
Yes, I have on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol 30% from 660 to 458 my first 20 months.
Sorry Alan that's right I have discussed this with you before. I am still doing quite well. I just started Berberine as a replacement of Metoprolol.
@@SET12DSP good to hear you are doing okay. Thanks to you, I’m taking 30 grams C and 10 Grams Lysine and Proline. I’m using powder and buy in bulk. I start at 4:00 am and finish at 8:00 pm. I started to catch a virus going through our family, so I increased the C to 50 Grams for 3 days and stopped the virus in its tracks. My wife was sick for 10 days. I barely noticed a sore throat. I pray it is reducing my CAC.
@alanlierz3745 Alan, real, nice to hear from you! Yes, that's sort of the way I think C has worked for me. My wife has RA and is on Methotrexate which is an immune suppressant, so naturally, she picks up stuff constantly while I'm highly resistant and haven't noticed a thing even her cold which lasted over 3 weeks the worst I've seen her go through in 20 years. I wasn't even touched.
The highest daily divided dose I've done so far has been 40 grams. I have heard of even 80 grams. If I got sick, I would use Liposomal vitamin C as it's fat soluble, and as Levy says, many times more absorbable than ascorbic acid powder, but it is expensive I store 24 grams in the fridge. OK, to go through the whole bottle in a day. If I had to.
I hope your bowel tolerance is working out well. My 15 gram early evening dose is well tolerated because of my physical activity reduction. The guy that mentioned this was so correct 👏
Alan, the only thing that can stop the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol as Dr. Thomas Levy cardiologist points out that toxicity is in the body, especially coming from dental toxicity. As Levy says, you could have a river of C and not make in head way fighting heart disease.
What he has found is bacteria from implants and root canals that you can be completely asymptomatic to contribute to heart disease.
I have one of each. I heard from a dentist that K2-MK7 kills more than 95 % of that bad bacteria, so I'm on high dose K2-MK7 with D3.
Proper normal dosing according to Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue author of " K2 and the Calcium Paradox " her latest recommendation was
100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3.
K2-MK7 is not toxic, so you can take more K2-MK7.
I maintain my D3 level at 60ng/dl
My current K2-MK7 dosing is 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter.
Don't use mouthwash with taking K2-MK7 as it destroys the effectiveness of K2-MK7.
You'll see D3 and K2-MK7 combo bottles, but the doses are wrong.
Most K2-MK7 is sold in 100-200mcg.
I use 600mcg caps from "Nutrizing " off of Amazon.
If you have any gum disease, it will eventually clear as mine did, but it took a while. But I'm confident that it's the right thing to do, and of course, it clears calcium out of the arteries as well as high dose vitamin C. If you're using K2-MK7 with D3, make sure you're using at least Dr. Kate's recommendation as she pointed out too much D3 will overrun K2-MK7, leaving calcium deposits the very thing we're fighting.
Best of luck, Alan, and it sounds like you're very consistent with it, which is very important! As Linus Pauling said, "Never miss a day"
@alanlierz3745 I must have missed your post! Yeah, my wife got covid a second time. It didn't even touch me!
i am going to buy VittC powder ifrom china and want to take it orally, will it be efficient???? I heard that Ascorbic acid powder of china is GMO . DO YOU THINK I SHOULD NOT BUY IIT??? THANKS
I buy mine from BulkSupplemets here in the USA in 1kg resealable bags as I use 25 grams per day in divided doses with Lysine and Proline to reverse my heart disease and I'm doing it successfully...😊
I wouldn't buy it from China. So far as I know, they do not acknowledge heavy metals in their products. All my Chinese herbs I buy are manufactured in the US in companies that are certified as "GMP" good manufacturing processes
My friend was born in China, and he told me to avoid foods from China
@@lindarothman588, 99% of ALL Ascorbic Acid is made in China. The other 1% is made in Scotland. The last pharmaceutical plant to make Ascorbic Acid in the US was shut down in 1998. Don't believe me... do your own homework it's out.
Pauling....Klenner...
Cathcart ...💜.are rolling in their graves. VIT C the Real Story book 😉😉
I have no worries about ascorbic acid powder as it is working just fine with Lysine and Proline as Pauling recommended. My heart disease has reversed by 30% in 20 months.
Rolling! This low recommended dose is a joke.
@davidmusial1611 Oh, I low doses are nearly useless. Myself I am on Linus Paulings Heart Protocol taking 30 grams of ascorbic acid powder in divided doses per day with Lysine and Proline reversing my heart disease as verified by my CAC Score.
@@davidmusial1611How much did Linus Pauling recommend?
Meat doesn't have a "negligible" amount of Vitamin C. Fresh beef has enough to cure and prevent scurvy.
Yes, uncooked meat can prevent scurvy, but is destroyed if heated. Most people do not eat raw or very rare beef, so the contribution to vitamin C in the body is small compared to fresh fruits and vegetables.
bookmarks:
• 30:04 (study)
• 33:07 (oxalate kidney stones?)
I make liposomal vitamin C using sunflower lecithin and powdered vitamin C, and take it several times through the day - and eat fresh fruits and veggies throughout the year.
For context, gorillas (who also lack the love enzyme necessary for synthesis) get ~ 4000 mg in their daily diet; and cows and goats make 11,000-13,000 mg daily - and more when under stress, plus being some in their diets!
Don't forget to take C with Lysine and Proline if you want to reverse heart disease as I am my proof is in my CAC score 660 to 458 so far...
How do you make it?
Is Vit C IV OR High dose really bad for the kidneys ????
No, protective. I have been on high dose for 3 years and I'm now up to 25 grams of ascorbic acid powder in divided doses per day with Lysine and Proline reversing my heart disease.
Is ascorbic acid vitamin C? Why?
"In the early 1930s vitamin C was isolated from fruit and vegetables and adrenal cortex and was named “hexuronic acid”, which was shown to cure scurvy in guinea pigs and was subsequently renamed ascorbic acid to reflect its anti-scorbutic properties." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/24169506/
@@NutritionIsBestHealthInsuranceThank you for not providing this history.. I did not know this, so thank you👏👏👏👏
Worried about toxicity? I take 4gms three times per day. No problems at all. Ascorbic acid powder is very soluble so 4gms in 5-10 mls of water is just fine.
No mention of the differences between taking Ascorbic Acid vs the naturally occurring Vitamin C Complex which has various other minerals attached to it.
There's no mention of it because Dr. Carr's work shows that natural vs. synthetic doesn't matter. The complex is made up - something that had never been shown scientifically.
High doses under stress....🔥🔥is this why my flu & later Pnemonnia quicky fade away...??🫨🫨
YES,!!!
